The scenes I’m going to analyse are from Black Panther, and the clip I used is from the second end credit scene.
The second end credit scene of Black Panther opens up with a medium close up shot.
The angle of this scene is low.
The movement of this scene is pan.
The plane of this scene lies in the foreground of the kids’ faces and the background of what’s behind them.
The space of this scene is onscreen and offscreen instead of being open and closed, because what’s onscreen is the kids’ painted faces and what’s offscreen is how everything behind them is blurred.
The diagonals of this scene are more balanced/centred than oblique/unbalanced.
As for the lightning, it’s low contrast/high key.
The aspect ratios are 16x9, and the lens used is limited focal depth.
The image quality is high res.
The exposure used is the correct exposure.
The editing is outside in.
The sound is diagetic.
The second scene is Shuri looking over her shoulder, and the shot is a medium shot.
The angle is eye level.
The movement is pan.
Within this plane, the foreground is Shuri, and the background is the huts behind her that she’s looking at.
The space is onscreen versus offscreen, because Shuri is seen in frame and the camera is focused on her whereas the background is behind her, not completely blurred out, but it’s clear that she is the focus currently.
The diagonals are balanced/centred.
The lighting is low contrast/high key.
For the photography, the aspect ratios are 16x9.

Within this plane, the foreground is Bucky, and the background is the hut behind him.

Hi Anja! You pinpointed a lot of good film techniques and appropriate visuals to go along with the scenes you were talking about. It would also help if you added a paragraph below the scene(s) you analyzed to explain how you think those effects work to create the overall effect or what they attempted to do and maybe didn't the way you thought. You could also say how effective if was or not. You could explain what you liked or even did not like. Great job overall on this!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great scene to pick and well analyzed as well. I would suggest a thesis on how these techniques build the suspense of the reveal if you want to focus on this movie. I'm glad someone did the post credit scene, as they're usually pretty significant plot-wise and are now an expected staple of Marvel movies. So if you wanted to up the scale, an alternative thesis would be comparing the techniques in this scene to OTHER Marvel post-credit scenes.
ReplyDeleteReally great job at describing each aspect of the film techniques in each scene. I haven't seen this movie since it came out, so I don't really remember these scenes but if I were to add anything I would say go more in depth about why these choices were made and like Britney said describe their effectiveness on the overall theme of this scene or how this scene contributes to the movie as a whole. Since these are the last scenes they are really important to how the story will be viewed as a whole so I would suggest describing how these scenes contribute or don't contribute to the message the director is trying to convey and how the audience is supposed to feel at the end of the movie.
